drat, I guess that was the sad ending. Unless all of them end with Serenoa sacrificing himself in a fiery explosion and Frederica being distraught about it. On to NG+ I guess! Blackbelt Bobman fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Mar 20, 2022 |

The side conversations have no impact but become more frequent deeper into the game. To the point that a lot of later bosses have unique dialogue with a lot of the cast.

I really like that ending. I can only assume it's the the best ending for roland (besides possibly the secret one) since he doesn't sell his soul and just leaves politics to fish.

Hahaha, holy crap, no, definitely not. My path ended with Serenoa becoming king and the Roselle freed, starting an era of extreme wealth, but rampant inequality worse than the former status quo. Roland is seen working with Idore, to start a revolution or something. I call it the capitalism ending.

I have so many characters now I'm not sure who to focus on. Everyone has a fun niche. So, is (Chapter XV story character recruit spoiler) Cordelia the only character that can increase evasion without items? Because Groma and the other Chapter XV recruit spoiler would love that. But it's very noticeably missing from Benedict's repertoire.

Before I opt to buy this game, as a great lover of Fire Emblem and Octopath Traveler, I need to know one thing. How good is the music compared to Octopath Traveler? Octopath has probably one of my favourite OSTs of all time, and if Triangle Strategy is anywhere near as good I know I'll love the game.

I like this OST a lot. Probably my favorite on the Switch since Xenoblade 2. Combat-Valor and First Campaign are stuck in my head constantly, and Until That Day (the Roselle battle theme) really hits with the drums and Celtic sounding poo poo.mandatory lesbian posted:Im talking about the blue sphere convos, like theres one with erador and corentin.

The soundtrack is very fitting, as though I'm playing a strategy game, if that makes sense. The last few classes you unlock with high conviction definitely show where the team got some of their influence. Geomancer, Calculator, and a character with ally/enemy [Galaxy] Stop Time.. Some observations about them: -Decimal and Quahaug (as well as any character that receives a benefit from waiting) have very strong synergy. Benedict -> Act Twice into Decimal, Decimal moves up some, uses his abilities as needed, moves back. Then Quahaug - Stop Time. Use Quahaug's second and third turns to do whatever--if enough TP, toss an In Due Course out or two, item heal, etc. Best used after inflicting an enemy or two with poison. -Quahaug is also secretly a great healer: for someone like Erador, who will get saddled with every status effect known to man and have his HP destroyed by an errant magic attack or two, rewinding a turn for him turns into a status and HP heal wrapped into one. -Giovanna seems to be mostly good in battles where the land is mostly flat, and enemies can funnel in. Those are maps where you definitely want to use fire or ice to your advantage to slow the enemy down. I just wish more ground types were covered, or they snuck in "air" somehow. It would fit thematically with her storyline, and fill in stuff like "roof" tiles. She's like a hearty version of Narve.

So about Giovanna: Her real power is Gaea's Rage. Namely, it has infinite range, as long as it's not hitting the height limit, and hits like a truck. It also has no terrain restrictions. It's a better version of Archibald's piercing arrow. If anything, this makes her better for chokepoints than open maps, because you can maximally line people up. Also, her terrain problems are not as bad as they seem - on downtime turns you can toss an icestone or firestone down to make better terrain for her wherever you need it.

New Game + does not gently caress around. I barely beat the chapter 1 battle after losing everyone but Serenoa lol Chapter 2 was easy but Chapter 3 (Aesfrost) kicked my rear end once again. I’m kinda rushing to chapter 5 so I can see the scouting menu.

The rank 1 upgrades don't seem powerful at first glance. In one playthrough absolutely not enough to upgrade everyone. Stick with the folks you like and focus on them. NG+ gives you lots of opportunities to upgrade, though.

The rank 1 upgrades don't seem powerful at first glance. You have to be selective. Upgrade costs scale up significantly with each upgrade, so it's usually best to grab a single rank 1 upgrade on everyone and then move on to a single rank 2, etc.

Has anyone figured out what the damage formulas actually are? Like how much additional damage does a point of strength add, how much does defence help, is weapon potency better or worse, how much damage does a crit add?

The rank 1 upgrades don't seem powerful at first glance. The level one materials get much easier to obtain later on, but the increasing cost means, at most, you'd unlock two level 1 skills for a given character through your first playthrough. I would highly recommend focusing on upgrades that provide more than just a single stat increase, unless you are working toward boosting their key stat. For example, I unlocked Frederica's Clear Skies, Damage Up, which is more worthwhile than +1 strength (that doesn't affect your magic attack). Fangz posted:Has anyone figured out what the damage formulas actually are? Like how much additional damage does a point of strength add, how much does defence help, is weapon potency better or worse, how much damage does a crit add? Shouldn't be too hard to figure out, I may take a few moments today to do some calculations. I can say that (high conviction recruit) Quahaug's delayed damage attack appears to hit for 25% health.

For what it's worth worth, I noticed when switching from Hard to Normal that the enemy's stats didn't change at all, so I'm guessing that there's just a hidden multiplier on final damage values (ie: you take more damage and enemies take less). So, uh, take that into account when you do your damage formula testing.

I am getting absolutely wrecked on the March of the Smugglers battle map I've been running with Hughette, the blacksmith, Shaman lady, Wizard kid and the core Characters (except Roland), but the daughter archer and smuggler bowmen are doing way too much DPS. Any suggestions on strategy or comp? I've tried it three ways, first try to take out the healers through flanking, second do trap knock back on their melee units and dad and pick them off at a distance, and finally ladder to take the high ground and rain death from above. Each time my melee forces get poisoned or arrowed OR the backline gets wrecked by arrows. Would provoking the smugglers help (if the tank character can survive in range) or should I just do more mental battles? Because most of my crew are lvl. 11-13.

Running Benedict route this time and forcing myself to use Jens, Piccoletta... and I guess Giovanna since I just unlocked her. Avlora battle in chapter 7 ended with the famed and powerful general getting bounced into a wall by a spring trap.

While I liked this game a lot, the Golden Route Requiring me to grind up a bunch of nobodies I left on the bench for a reason is kinda taking the wind out of my sails. Now whenever I so much as think about booting up the game I remember all the grinding I need to do and I just cannot be bothered.

Captain Oblivious posted:While I liked this game a lot, the Golden Route Yeah this is a bit of a downer. fwiw with the cliff map you can vanguard scarf/quietus/Now! three turns for a character and then immediately quit out pretty easily. That's how I did it. NG+ is kinda showing me how stark the difference is between the cast that does stuff and the part of the cast that doesn't. Most of the "Tanks" in particular don't really hold up on Hard. Erador/Groma/Lionel/Flanagan all feel really useless when I could be piling in more damage to actually take down threats, given how quickly they cave.
